To find the length of each piece of wood, we first need to understand the units of measurement involved. The given length of the plank of wood is 3 meters.
1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. So, we can convert 3 meters into centimeters by multiplying it by 100:
3 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 300 centimeters
Now that we know the total length of the plank is 300 centimeters, we need to find the length of each piece. Since the plank was cut into two pieces, we can divide the total length by 2 to get the length of each piece:
300 centimeters / 2 = 150 centimeters
Therefore, each piece of wood is 150 centimeters long.
